Omaha, NE

We left Hazen Bay Sept.3 rd. arriving at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford, NE for a 3 day reunion with my 3 sisters and their husbands. This is something we try to do every year. I am so blessed to be from a family that gets along so well and not one of us harbors any bitter or harsh feelings. That is tribute the way our parents raised us. From there it was a short drive back to Hart Ranch near Rapid City for the region 4 Newmar Kountry Klub Rally. While in the Rapid City area we revisited many of the places that we had visited about 25 years ago. I must say they have all undergone major improvements and are now much better than they were in the past. We also drove the wild life loop and the Needles hi-way in Custer State Park. After leaving Hart Ranch on Sept. 13 th. we drove to Imperial, Ne where we set up camp in our sons lush buffalo grass yard. While there we had the motor home serviced and took care of some business as well as seeing friends and relatives. I have to mention my 85 year old uncle Wesley that we visited. We called their house in the morning to see if they would be home and Aunt Marjorie said he was moving cattle from pasture to the feed lot at home and she would check with him. He called back in a few minutes and said that he would be free from 2 until 4. We drove into the yard about 2 and the last truck was just backing up to the loading chute to unload. After watching them unload and looking at the cattle we went to the house for ice cream and banana bread and a nice visit. We left around 4 as he needed to get the cattle into the proper corral and fed yet that afternoon. I really think that is amazing for an 85 year old man. Yesterday we left Imperial and traveled hi-way 6 to the KOA here in Gretna, NE. It was a nice leisurely drive with little traffic and much better scenery than traveling I-80.
